Generate Certificate and Private Key on MCS
yuvra...@gmail.com
My wireless device requires the certificate and private key from the
CA in .PEM file format
I generated the ceritificate from the http://rootCA/certsrcv option
Following are the settings that I selected while creating the
certificate
Request Certificate
->Advance certificate Request
-->Create and request a certificate to the CA
---> Certificate Template : User
Key Options
CSP : Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider 1.0
Key Size : 1024
Mark Keys as exportable : selected
Export keys to file : selected
Request format : CMC
It generated the private key with .pvk extension and the certificate
with .cer extension.
When I import this files on the wireless device I get error
"ERROR : SSL Private Key type does not match SSL Certificate type."
Reading more on the internet I figured out that the .cer and .pem
extension can be interchangeable. So I can change the extension of the
certificate from .cer to .pem
When I opened the .pvk file it was not in the text format. I couldn't
find how to generate the .PEM private key file.
The wireless device documentation says that both the certificate and
private key should be plain text file where certificate should start
with ____BEGIN CERTIFICATE____
and end with ____END CERTIFICATE____. The private key file should
start with ____BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY____ and end with ____END RSA
PRIVATE KEY____
How can I generate the RSA private key from MCS?
